The main are the following:


Safety Devices


1. Oil Temperature Indicator

Where is usedAll types of Transformers

Description:
Device used to measure the top oil temperature in the tank by a sensor.
It can be provided with 2 or 4 SPDT switches.


2. Winding Temperature Indicator

 

 

 

 

Where is usedAll types of Transformers

Description:
Device used to measure the winding temperature in the Liquid Immersed Transformers by indirect way.
It can be provided with Max 4 SPDT switches.


3. Buchholz Relay

Where is used: Transformers with Conservator

Description:
Such device intercepts and collects any gas bubble coming from the inner side of the transformer and/or signals any oil leakage from the tank (that indicates schort circuit or other faults).
There are different options according to the dimension of the pipe connecting flange.
It is suitable also a Gas Sampling Device connected with Buccholz Relay if it is necessary to collect the gas for the testing analysis. 


4. Air Breather

Where is usedTransformers with Conservator

Description:
The aim of such device is absorbing the humidity air that the transformer sucks during the thermal contraction of the liquid in order to guarantee a better dielectric capacitance.
There are different dimension and connections according to the oil contained in the conservator; when the salt becomes green means it is satured by humidity.


5. Oil Level Indicator

Where is usedTransformers with Conservator

Description:
Such device gives a visual signal of the oil level in the conservator.
There are different options according to the dimension of the conservator; it is also possible to signal the MAX and/or MIN oil level by switches.


6. Pressure Relief Device

Where is usedTransformers with Conservator (smaller PRD without contacts can be available also for Hermetic Transformers)

Description:
In case of sudden and violent internal short circuit the insulating liquid produces a large volume of gas that should be evacuated in order to avoid the explosion of the transformer. By PRD it possible to evacuate the oil.
There are different dimensions according to the oil quantity contained inside the tank of the transformers; it is also possible signals the opening of the PRD by switches placed on the cover


7. DGPT2 or RIS

 

Where is used: Hermetic Transformers

Description:
Device used for keeping under control Oil Pressure, Temperature and Oil Level of the liquid inside the transformer tank.


8. Shutter Valve

Where is used: Power Transformers with Conservator 

Description:
Device used to block the escape of oil coming from conservator in case of leakage in the transformer tank.
It is interposed between Buchholz relays and the conservator.
Can be set with with an alarm and trip signal according to the flow valve setting. 


9. Flow Indicator

Where is used: Power Transformers with Conservator 

Description
Device used to control of the oil flow out of the pumps on transformers with forced oil cooling equipment.
It is used also in water cooled transformers. 
Are also available small flow indicator for Distribution Transformers.


10. Antivibrating Pads

Where is usedDistribution Transformers 

Description:
Rubber supports to be assembled under the wheels in order to reduce the noise and structural resonances.


11. Marshalling Box

Where is used: Distribution Transformers

Description:
It allows a strong reduction of the capacitive coupling between MV and LV winding and also a reduction of overvoltages transferred among the same windings.


12. Overvoltage Protection Devices

 

Where is used: All type of Transformers

Function:
The aim is to protect the regulating winding.
There are two possibility:
using Surge Arresters located close to the terminals as possible or using Spark Gaps on the bushings.


Electronic Safety Devices


To have an instant control on all essential parameters of the transformer, SEA can provide part of the accessories with

ANALOG OUTPUT 4÷20 mA

or

RS485 DIGITAL OUTPUT MODBUS PROTOCOL

Contact our sales dept. for adding information regarding which types of accessories can have such function.


Bushings


13. Elastimold Bushings

Where is used: Distribution Transformers

Description:
The plug connection allows a very rapid connection of the cable to the transformer and can be touched when the transformer is under voltage.
They are manufactured according to the Standards:  EDF HN 52 S 61 - CENELEC EN-50181-50180 - IEEE 386-1995 - UTE C 66-555 - DIN 47636.
Always specify the type of rapid connection desired.
(contact our sales dept. for adding information) 


14. Busbars

Where is usedDistribution Transformers

Description:
Suitable for indoor and outdoor application with protective cap.
They are manufactured according to the Standards:  EN 50387, ENEL DJ1107-1109 and BS 2562/1979. 


15. Inner Cone Bushings

Where is usedDistribution Transformers

Description:
Suitable for indoor and outdoor application with protective cap. 
They are manufactured according to the Standards:  DIN 47637 - ENEL DJ1111 and DJ1108.


16. Porcelain Bushings

Where is used: All type of Transformers 

Function:
Oil to air bushings used to bring the connection from the transformer insulation medium to the external insulation medium.
Suitable for Voltages up to 45 kV.


17. Composite Bushings

Where is used: All type of Transformers 

Function:
Oil to air bushings used to increase general safety level it is possible to use such bushings made of composite material instead of porcelain in order to guarantee no oil leakages, no risk of fire, possibility to be assembled horizzontally and control of partial disharges.
